Food-safe lubricants
I'm looking for recommendations of a food-safe, waterproof lubricant. The
intended use it to lubricate the paddle shaft of my bread machine. Replacement pans are no longer available, so I disassembled the old pan to find a thick grunge that causes the hard turning of the shaft. A quick cleaning and the shaft turns easily, now I need something to lubricate it. Since leaking around the seal is probably what caused the problem in the first place, I'd like to use a waterproof lube.

I guess I was thinking about something that would be cleaned off and replaced after each use, not in the machine itself. |

Google "food grade silicone grease" or "usda approved silicone grease" and you'll find tons of hits. -Patti -- Patti Beadles, Oakland, CA | pattib~pattib.org | http://www.pattib.org/ | "Oh great.

(it may be, I don't know). What I do know is that white lithium is. Any grease with an H-2 classification is acceptable for incidental food contact. |

Only H1 lubricants are. And the "H" codes are obsolete, anyhow: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OPPDE/rdad/..._guide_app.htm -- Seth Goodman |

H-1 is incidental, H-2 for lubricating food machinery, non contact. The link provided has a date of Sept. 2004. There is still a lot of product and literature using the H classifications. |
